Baby Elephant Gawk

The new baby elephant at the Oregon Zoo is a cute and valuable asset that millions of people would love to share. Instead of continuing to raise taxes to support Metro and Portland’s parks (the latest is charging for parking in most of Washington Park), why doesn’t the Zoo set up a 24-hour Baby Elephant Cam? This would attract visitors from around the world for years to come, and generate advertising revenue that would help give Portland taxpayers a break for once. In fact, why not set up webcams for all of the most popular animals? The National Zoo and San Diego Zoo have successfully done it.
